The 2nd edition of Gifted or Just Plain Smart? was revised to address the vast changes in the post COVID educational environment. It is designed to be a useful guide for all who work with gifted school-age children: parents, teachers, principals, and pre-service teachers in university settings. It covers gifted education from its origins and theories to the practical use of current technology at home or in the school. It also addresses strategies to recognize and develop overlooked gifted students such as those who are twice exceptional, those from diverse underserved populations, and those with a variety of gender issues, including students who identify with LGBTQ+ communities. It is an updated practical how-to manual with examples, anecdotes, real-life comments, and includes a guide to free resources.

Educators, students, and parents alike agree that the COVID-19 pandemic changed education forever. While all students struggled to find their identity as learners and individuals within the chaos, gifted students who understood the complexities of such dramatic changes especially struggled. In her book, Dr. Quinlan clearly presents the issues with which many gifted students continue to grapple and how they, as deep thinkers with exceptional needs, have navigated their school experiences throughout this unique time. Gifted or Just Plain Smart? is a ‘must read’ for anyone who works with gifted students, post-pandemic!
